Yea, unless you wanted to talk on the damn thing. And god forbid you want to do it secure. It was a bigger POS than the PRC-25
( and for you "Old Salts", yes I know the basic radio is the same)

Great for shaving and field baths. Not worth a crap for protecting your noggin

- The M60 GPMG – sorry it was cumbersome, fouled easy, parts rattle like hell when patrolling and a weak bipod. (Prefer the MAG-58 or MG 3).
- M16A1 /AR-15 – Early 5.56mm round crap (then again I have always thought the 5.56mm round compared to the 7.62mm round – For when I hit someone, I never want them to get up again); the weapons construction itself made for children and not ‘infantry proof! (Many American troops have told me the same!!), Loss magazines that would always drop out when needed most.
The standard fare from someone that doesn't know what they are talking about.

From reading some of your other post I think your a poser
